I'm sure they are fine. For low voltage stuff, I don't really get picky about electros myself. That said, I usually stick with 105c low impedance radials, which are cheaper and surely out-perform those Suntans.

I typically use Nichicons, Lelon, United Chemicon... If you go to Mouser you can narrow the search by temp. Just make sure the ones you get have leads and are not the really short leads.

I often use their brown turd film caps in builds.
